Fran and Nigel have shown some interesting pictures of bands they have been been in. Most of us have played in a variety of bands. Got pics? Love to see them. Here are a couple of mine from late 80's early 90's. No tee shirts or torn jeans. We dressed for the occasion. smile

This was an R&B group I played with in the 70's. I'm on the far left...I played a B-3 and several other, now vintage, keyboards back then. A great bunch of guys.




The band was called "Integration".

Didn't you guys know about "sneakers"? smile
Those "engineer boots" were heavy, and were too slow if you had to run... grin

The Keynotes mid-1950's. In those days we were called a wedding band. There were no DJ's back then and we played everything from weddings and proms to bowling banquets and spaghetti suppers.
Ciao,
Jerry

Jerry..the good old days...I remember my first 5 member band...They were called Hi-Fiv (that is the way they spelled it) smile...and NO.... no one was high (Early 60's)..
We were the House band for the "Golden Horse" Inn..The nightspot near Philly..

And we worked 5 hour gigs for $12 a man.. grin

I was seventeen when I started with the band...the other guys were mostly in their 50's..It was a great experience for me..I worked the best guitarist I have ever seen...a great sax player, very good drummer and a polished (not Polish) bass player that was lead singer.....and the cute kid was on accordion wink
